9.36Rootless voicings — preview

If a bassist is playing G, pianist may omit G entirely.

For G7, pianist can play:

B F A E

which gives:

3rd, 7th, 9th, 13th.

The bass supplies the root.

In solo piano, you can simulate this:

LH low G

RH B-F-A-E

Later we'll build a systematic library of these.
